What is Tourism Accreditation?
The National Tourism Accreditation Program is an important initiative of the Tourism Industry Council Tasmania. The
program is designed to raise the professionalism of the industry through the implementation of business management practices and standards.
The Tourism Accreditation Program is a business development tool that is based on Quality Assurance Principles and is aligned to the Australian and International Standards for Quality Management Systems - ISO 9002.
The program addresses many of the issues that are addressed in the development of a Business Plan but focuses on those key elements that are part of the day to day function of any tourism business operations.
It aims to assist every tourism business to improve the way it operates, in turn providing consumers and the industry with an assurance that a tourism operator is committed to quality assurance and customer service.
There is no other industry in Australia as diverse as the tourism industry. Its sectors embrace transportation (including air, rail, coach, water), accommodation from B&Bs, backpackers, hotel chains etc. plus attractions and events too numerous to mention.
Tourism accreditation is industry driven to ensure the ongoing sustainability and best practices of tourism operators in Tasmania.
The Tourism Accreditation Program is open to all new and existing businesses that are involved in a tourism activity and there are over 1000 Tourism Accredited businesses in Tasmania.
